Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has announced an update to Yahoo’s iOS app, featuring Summly integration, a new look and improved search features. To recap, Summly is the news summary app recently acquired by a Yahoo from British teenager Nick D’Aloisio. The app was launched by D’Aloisio when he was 16, and was reportedly acquired for $30M. Yahoo’s app, which is only available for the iPhone and iPod touch, was apparently created “with smaller screens in mind” and heavily integrates “Summly’s natural-language algorithms and machine learning to deliver quick story summaries.” In addition, it also features redesigned article pages, personalization features, and an improved search experience with emphasis on video and image searches. This update comes less than one month after the Summly acquisition. Here’s the new look, followed by the original app.
